LCSW, 15 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Thank you for considering me as your personal mental health therapist and emotions coach. Over the last few years, we have collectively endured traumatic, distressing, and challenging times that have reshaped how we view the world and how we choose to move forward within it. For many, this has meant clinging to familiar beliefs for comfort. For others, the weight of trauma, hopelessness, and fatigue has left them feeling stuck, unable to access their inner strengths or resilience. I believe that in those moments, we all need someone to help guide us back from the darkness into the light. I want to be that beacon of light for you. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with more than 15 years of counseling experience and over 20 years of serving families. My treatment philosophy is rooted in the belief that every individual has strengths that can be nurtured to foster healing and growth. By combining psychotherapy and clinical social work theories within a strength-based model, I help clients build coping strategies, discover new tools, and reclaim their sense of well-being. Our work together will focus on developing a trusting, supportive, and confidential therapeutic relationship—one that is grounded in empathy, respect, and validation, without pity or blame. My practice integrates Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, all within a behavioral change framework. These approaches allow me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, helping you move forward with resilience, clarity, and hope. Healing is a journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. My role is to walk beside you, providing guidance, insight, and encouragement as you rediscover your strength and reclaim your light.
Our initial session will focus on conducting a thorough biopsychosocial-spiritual-cultural and lethality/imminent danger assessment - don't worry it sounds more intimidating than it actually is, so try to relax and enjoy this safe place together. We will also discuss your consent to engage in therapy sessions and your understanding of how we will work together. During our next sessions, you will have your chance to just unwind and further express your reason for why you are seeking my service.
Through a Transtheoretical Model of Change, I believe that when the client can track their progress on the goals and objectives of a mutually created plan, they can self-monitor their path towards a successful termination of services. Additionally, my model is a relationship dyad without walls. While maintaining healthy boundaries between the client and the clinician, I eliminate the traditional communication structures of the cold office and provide multiple ways for clients to access services including phone and video, with flexible appointment times.
Primarily, I work with men’s mental health concerns, including challenges related to physical health, career transitions, and issues that impact self-esteem and overall identity. Many of my male clients come to therapy navigating stress, burnout, or feelings of inadequacy, often struggling to balance personal expectations with societal pressures. These challenges can lead to anxiety, depression, or a sense of disconnection from self and others. At the same time, my practice is open and inclusive to anyone seeking support. I recognize that trauma, loss, and life transitions affect us all in unique ways, regardless of gender, and I welcome individuals, couples, and families who are ready to engage in the therapeutic process. Whether you are working through men’s mental health concerns, navigating career and physical health challenges, or facing trauma and emotional distress of any kind, I strive to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported in rediscovering your resilience.
I'm a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional however I believe that many symptoms may derive from the need for an integrative healthcare approach. Insight building into trauma and mood regulation should be assessed from the inside out, from environmental to internal sensory impacts, and from spiritual and metaphysical practices. I have worked with several clients who came believing the pathology of their dysfunction was easily explained by a simple biological mood disorder when the cause and effect was more centered in the need for better self-care, dieting, and environmental impacts.
I believe that many of my clients have preconceived ideas about their diagnosis but are not able to fully explain their disorder in clinical terms and how they impair their functionality. I will educate and build insight into clinical mood disorders to help my client better understand disorders and how they impact them on a clinically significant level.
I have an history of working with minority males of all ages, military personnel, law enforcement, and first-responders. Additionally, I am an ally to my LGBTQ family and friends. Alongside of my Christian values and upbringing I work within spiritual practices that are diverse and open to new nonconformist ideologies. I am in Independent at the voter’s box yet a conservative in my patriotism. If I was to describe my base clientele it would be men and women of color who have been impacted by mental health and personal growth issues while trying to navigate in a world of racism, systemic issues, and oppression. In my clientele you will also find various ethnicities and gender identities who are just looking for a safe place to process trauma and find inner-peace. Let me walk alongside of you on your path to mental clarity and spiritual serenity.

He was a good listener and his questioning technique was very thoughtful based on the information that was exchanged in the session.

Randy is a great guy. He finds a way to build trust organically despite inorganic mechanisms for meeting (online). In our few sessions, I've been empowered and given a different perspective on what's been going on. In my work, I am solution-oriented, and having his perspective on my life has helped me craft solutions in my own way to enable my goals. I appreciate our conversations, and I look forward to each of our sessions. Thank you for your time and your assistance.
